PR predictor tool?

[Kay]

Would it be possible to add something along the lines of this tool here please to our Web Tools section, decipher? I think that would be popular.

I agree that it would be popular. Every webmaster I am sure would like to have the prediction. I have seen these rubbished however when they come up with the wrong result at PR export time.

I'm sure we could give it a go...

Do you have any recommendations for us to apply to the algorithm used in the script?

Thanks!

Can I also ask if we could have a page rank checker too while you're at it please? In for a penny, in for a pound.

I thought that PR predictor tools pretty much don't work, I could be wrong tho?

They don't. All they are is a very uneducated guess. Since only Google knows the algorithm for determining PR there is no accurate way to predict it.

We know that it can't be expected to get it 100% all the time but there's still fun in trying.

Once it's here it'll be like touching paint that has a sign saying "wet paint" to see if it is. Hard to resist.
